I purchased a 97 lx450 a few months ago with all the normal oil leaks. Thanks to Mud I was able to fix all but one last leak. The last one was the oil pan arch /rear main seal leak. Oil was on the bell housing. Thinking the oil pan arch was the cause of the leak, I went that route to see if that would Fix it. Not wanting to tackle this project dropped off at my mechanic. Had him reseal both oil pans with Toyota Fipg. Got my truck back and the bell housing still has the same leak. I pulled the black cover, snapped some pics. Maybe someone can see what is going on. the shop wants 800 to fix the rear main.
